Isn't it interesting how so many books by different authors use the exact same words when describing the Ninja sword.
"A utilitarian bush knife"

It's in Stephen Hayes' books, in Hatsumi sensei's History and Traditions and in Art of the Ninja by Peter Lewis. Also found it here:

What's going on? Are these people all using the same dictionary or are they psychic or what?

If you look through Ninjutsu books you often can find the same phrases popping up again and again. Another one is "claim kinship".

Maybe we can design a Bingo game:)
